My daughter is wanting to start applying for a part time job to earn some pocket money but she's being told that she needs a CV.
She's obviously not had any jobs and she's not got any qualifications etc yet (doing gcse's this year).

What is she expected to put on it apart from address and maybe a "personal statement" and expected grades??

Seems a little unreasonable.
 
Oh absolutely I get the point in them... just when there is zero really to put on them. Especially when can't put anything like trident (or whatever its called nowdays) work experience as that was cancelled at her school during lockdown. Hasn't had any other part time jobs or is involved in anything of note which can put on a cv such as volunteering.


Thanks for all the advice so far, I am about to help her this afternoon, so I guess it's going to be mostly expected grades, personal statement and interests. :)

Haha I definitely have a silly email address - name at thefunkygibbon.net
I've never had it go against me in any of the jobs I've been put forward for....In fact it's a nice ice breaker/talking point most of the time. Granted people outside of the UK tend to not quite get it.
